In the song's lyrics, Cuomo refers to himself as "little old 3-chord me" ironically. In fact, "Falling for You" is one of the most musically complex songs in the Weezer discography, utilizing every root note on the guitar fretboard and employing numerous chord progressions and key changes. The song was not performed live after [[1997]] until [[2002]], when the song was selected at random<ref>''[[The Lion and the Witch]]'' liner notes</ref> for [[Weezer concert: 05/26/2002|a concert in Tokyo]] (a performance which later appeared on the EP ''[[The Lion and the Witch]]''), leading Cuomo to quip "I'd like to ask for the Lord's help in guiding us through the performance of this next song.

At the beginning of the track, a woman's voice can be heard saying, in Korean, "어는 회사작품이지요" ("What company makes this product?"). During the recording sessions, Rivers' amplifier was receiving radio interference | The previous track, "[[Pink Triangle]]", transitions seamlessly into "Falling for You" (the first Weezer song to do so). At the beginning of the track, a woman's voice can be heard saying, in Korean, "어는 회사작품이지요" ("What company makes this product?"). During the recording sessions, Rivers' amplifier was receiving radio interference of what sounded like a woman speaking an Asian language.
